And before you go too fast, also keep in mind that up to this point she
has said she does NOT want to do this... So don't start collecting money
just yet folks-or if you do keep in mind that it may never go for it's
intended purpose, and instead end up in the EFF's coffers or whatever.
Not necessarily a bad thing, I suppose.
Anyway, point being, don't get too gung ho on this until somebody hears
from her directly that she would want to do this, contrary to her earlier
statements.
Peace,
